​​Description

The Mud Crab Locator Equipment System is a locator equipment tool that helps people to locate the exact position of the mud crabs underground and also to identify its gender. Its main purpose is for the users to easily recognize and only catch the male mud crabs and to let the females reproduce. By using the device, the person does not need to disturb the crab from its habitat just to see if it is a male or female.

​Innovative Features and Benefits:

This technology generates a certain range of frequency which adult male mud crabs are reactive to and it has a microphone to serve as an input sensor to detect the movement of the male mud crab reacting to the frequency it received.

The development of this product will assist crab farmers to locate and recognize male crabs and prevent capturing the female ones that are already carrying eggs.

​Business Potential:

Pond owners who domesticate mud crabs and crab farmers will benefit from this technology. The Mud Crab Locator Equipment System will make it easier and more convenient for pond owners and farmers to catch crabs and earn profit, unlike the traditional method that requires longer time to catch one crab.
